Project Raijin: Turning The Q50 Into A Luxury GT-R, For Real Step Aside Godzilla, Here Comes The God Of Thunder Last week Infiniti Motors Ltd. invited Motor Trend out to its headquarters in Hong Kong for an exclusive deep dive on the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge concept. As you'll recall, the Q50 Eau Rouge concept was first announced at the North American International Auto Show in January. There it was, shown as a design concept lacquered in 24 coats of deep red paint, but without an engine or technical specifications to speak of. Those came with the bomb Infiniti dropped at the Geneva show – when Infiniti announced that its engineers had successfully shoehorned the Nissan GT-R's twin-turbo V-6 engine along with a 7-speed transmission and an all-wheel-drive system into the Eau Rouge. The real kicker was that the VR38DETT engine makes more power in the Eau Rouge, than in the GT-R – 560 horsepower vs. the GT-R's 545. Finally, it would seem, a 4-door GT-R is upon us – a concept born in the minds of hot rod enthusiasts a split-second after the R35 GT-R was announced in 2007. READ THE FULL STORY Finally!
